I would like to ask at firs tif gtz and gtzr models are listed as the same on motherboards's qvl because I never actually saw a mobo qvl with gtzr on it.

Second question is if the memory kits with the rgb i listed (F4-3200C14D-16GTZR for c14/F4-3200C16D-16GTZR)would reach their 3200 on the mobo I was looking to buy.

Third question is are the c14 kits of g.skill trident z rgb samsung b die but the c16 ones are hinxk(im sure i made a typo here) if then i should probably spend the extra money for the c14 ones cause I am planning to buy ryzen 7 1700 which is said to run better with samsung b die

fourth question is it trully worth the c14 over c16 if they are both indeed samsun b die? I am not an overclock enthusiast i just want me 3200 mhz rams working at 3200 and my ryzen at 3.7ghz and thats it

ps.if they dont run at 3200 on strix x370-f but run at crosshair hero vi i am willing to buy that board instead.Thanks to anyone who responds/reads this but please do answer if you see it im withing of the last 3-4 days before i make my orders.If the answer is a no you cant get to 3200 with rgb rams currently on am4 boards i will probably spend the 200euros to buy flare x's of g.skill at c14 guaranted 3200 ryzen certified speeds :D .
 
Solution
Yes, if specs are identical, they should be equally compatible. Only difference is RGB lighting.

C14 3200 is best for AMD Ryzen

If you care about performance, have to get C14.

The Crosshair VI HERO is one of the best Ryzen motherboards. If running DDR4-3200 is a priority, that is an ideal motherboard.
